Plus… this isn’t a remote area—you can walk across the whole range from Santa Cruz to Los Gatos in less than a day. Even if you were too panicked to think of an obvious strategy like “follow a stream” or “always walk downhill” and were essentially stumbling around blind, it seems like you’d be bound to run into a hiking trail or other landmark by chance alone within a day or two.
For Jimmy Sharman’s boxers it’s no better if you win
The Emperor’s New Stigmata.
I considered that, but couldn’t think of any actual examples.
Is it the same thing, though?
Technically, any independent blogger or YouTuber is a “content creator”. But (at least in my impression of normal usage), an influencer is specifically a content creator trying to leverage their “influence” over the purchasing decisions of their followers.
The word “influencer” doesn’t appear in any quotes from party sources or the linked convention material—it’s just editorializing on the part of the Washington Post.
Is WaPo just inserting the term to discredit non-corporate media?
See the talk page on his Wikipedia article—they’re currently comparing sources (including the New Statesman article you linked to), but don’t yet consider it conclusive.
It doesn’t make sense that we couldn’t see it and the particles that could explain it seemed like they were invented just to justify dark matter
It always seemed like a natural assumption to me: the particles we know about were discovered because they interact with each other via at least one other force in addition to gravity. But there’s no other force common to all particles, so why not expect particles that only interact via gravity? They’d naturally be hard to detect, since gravity is so much weaker than the other forces.
Assuming that the only particles that exist are the ones that happen to be easy for us to detect feels like observer bias.
Everyone tried to warn Elon not to use Fury Road as training data.
I think that in practice, whoever writes the prompts would be able to adjust the wording to get the bot to output whatever they want.
Turns out it was just Chris Hadfield playing Space Oddity on the ground station channel again.
Is there a word for a form of government that rules entirely by throwing people out of windows?
Maybe “defenestrarchy”?
Reading the quotes from Ashe reminds me of some of the cops who plant evidence at crime scenes: they’re convinced they’ve already got the right suspect, and manufacturing evidence is just a convenient shortcut for persuading everyone else of their version of the truth.
The Fisher King to Perceval: “The real Holy Grail was the irritable bowel syndrome we acquired along the way.”

I fear that both situations will get uglier after the US election, regardless of who wins. If Trump wins, Biden will try to force things to a definitive conclusion before he leaves office, and if Biden wins, Putin and Netanyahu will give up on trying not to provoke the US in hope of working with Trump again.
And it’s even easier to convince them that everyone else has been fooled.
They should ask him what he thinks he’s on trial for—he might confess to something that hasn’t even been uncovered yet.
Does it need to be accessible via API (e.g. SQL) or just a spreadsheet-style web interface?
